Celebrity biographies, unfunny joke books, romance novels (the cheap kind with the corseted lady and the shirtless fella on the front - you know what I'm talking about), brain-dead adventure novels, books (ghost) written by celebrities/heiresses/royals, books with easily corrected errors, such as bad spelling, books generally purchased at airport bookshops or check-out lines...care to add any more to the list?

My co-workiers, who read romance novels (brain candy,) use to make fun of my reading SciFi - while they worked on computes, used their credit and ATM cards and researched their ancestry on line.
So, I'm kind of prejudiced against the Romance Novels.

Porno, trivia books published w/incorrect "facts", bodice-ripper novels (you forgot the hero is holding a large upright sword!), horror novels by writers who have forgotten how to; books based on a movie; and, last but not least, religious novels in which the heroine finds God AND a husband.

Self-help books that aren't actually written by people with the right training...that's most of them :o) I'd never be caught dead in that aisle at the book store. Waste of money...

anything by Rush Limbaugh, or Ann Coulter is pretty much a brain dead rant with no redeeming qualities. also what about those cheesy self help books put out by Dr Phil and his squamous like?

Usually pornographic first, occult second, religious demagogery third.
